Before a gymnastics event at the Beijing Olympics, an American athlete sat next to a Chinese athlete in the locker room.
"Everyone in the States says China has human rights problems," said the American. "Is that true?"
"I'm afraid so," said the Chinese athlete. "In our legal system, it is hard to get a fair trial. The judges decide who has won before the trial takes place."
"That's terrible," said the American.
Trying to lighten the mood, the Chinese athlete said, "So, do you think you will do well on your floor routine today?"
"I know I will," said the American. "We've paid off the German and French judges, and the Russians are trading votes with us."
